Documentation regarding EXPIRE allows you to set an EXPIRE value per key, in seconds.

EXPIRE s1 300

will expire the key s1 in 5 minutes.

See the documentation here: REDIS EXPIRE

If you are looking for C# code, I think it would depend on what library you are using to access REDIS. There are some other SO questions that may help, but also discuss the problem where expire did not work: Redis Expire does not work
